Verdict
DUTCH GOLDEN AGE won at Kempton in February and drops in class today after a couple of modest efforts in Class 2 sprints. Rated 88, he should have the measure of these. Menelik and Point North look the biggest dangers if the selection fails to run up to his mark as both finished runner-up on their latest starts at Lingfield and this venue respectively. Digital Revolution has shown nothing so far while Baby Say Yes makes no appeal debuting in this grade.
